N2 - Laser driven cold atoms in front of a retro-reflecting mirror exhibit self-organization above pump threshold. It was recently demonstrated how this system can be used to mimic a transverse lattice of interacting spins (see Fig. 1) [1]. The spontaneously formed lattice breaks both translational and rotational symmetries of the initial homogeneous spin state. By applying a constant longitudinal magnetic field of Bz ∼ 100 mG a switching between antiferromagnetic square and ferri-magnetic hexagonal pattern ordering can be induced. We study the coupling between this magnetic field and modulations in the atomic magnetization.
